My MIL took the cards/envelopes out of our birdcage near the end of the night... she was afraid that someone was gonna take them.

So today, 2 days after the wedding, hubby asked his dad for them.... it turned out that they opened all of the cards/envelopes! Took all the cash/checks out... kept a log... and wrote on the cards themselves how much the person gave. Not on the envelope the card came in but on the inside, where ppl wrote messages for us!!!! I'm so upset! I wanted to keep the cards and read them in years to come... now each time I open them, there's this figure written in the middle on how much they gave and in what form they gave it in!!!!!

OOOHhhh, I would be P-O'd! Seriously seriously wrong! Did you tell FH that you were less than thrilled about this? What did he have to say about this?

I would be furious! I would be pissed if my own parents did that. It is none of their business and soooo inappropriate. What did your husband say?

That is simply not right. How dare they open something obviously addressed to you!!!!

Re: in laws opened all of our cards!!!

There is nothing I didn't agree with here... I am completely outraged for you.

Re: in laws opened all of our cards!!!

I'm still really horrified about this. I can't even imagine having to mention to any of our parents that they shouldn't be opening the cards at all!! So horrible!

Re: in laws opened all of our cards!!!

Oh my God! I am so horrified! How could they possibly think it was appropriate to open YOUR wedding gifts? In addition to it being completely out of line, it is ridiculous that they took away such a fun task from you and your husband!

I'm so sorry!
